BD-X200 Title & Chapter Menus
This DVD recorder can automatically create title and chapter menus in response to recording operations and can save these to the
disc being recorded.
When the disc is subsequently played, these title and chapter menus can be used to access specific sections of stored video and
audio.
● When recording is stopped using the STOP button or a similar action (i.e., disc closing), a title number and a thumbnail
(corresponding to the frame at the start of recording) will be created to form part of the disc’s title menu. A single disc can contain
up to 99 different titles.
● Similarly, if a chapter mark is inserted during recording, a chapter number and a thumbnail (corresponding to the frame at the
chapter mark) will be created to form part of the title’s chapter menu. Chapter marks are used as targets for skipping during
playback. Each title can contain up to 99 chapters.
ⅥDisplay Styles
A total of eight different display styles can be used with title and chapter menus. The PRESET STYLE MENU screen can be used
to select the type of style to be used in the creation of title and chapter menus.
In addition, each of the display styles can be modified as required. (

Depending on the style used and the number of menu items, title and chapter menus may extend over more than one page.
